WWW.SANDIEGONAVHDA.COM Volume 8 Issue 1 Sep. 2014 NORTH AMERICAN VERSATILE HUNTING DOG ASSOCIATION, SAN DIEGO CHAPTER President’s Message 1 Hi San Diego chapter members, Schedule, Treasurers Report 2 Training Day Directions, Versatile Breed 3 Summer Pot Luck Pics 4,5 First, I want to thank Robin and Bob Kendall for hosting our summer picnic. Everyone in attendance appeared to have a great time, and the food was fantastic as usual. Second, I want to wish all of you that are testing in the Inland or So Cal tests good luck! If you need help at the last minute solving an issue please contact one of your Board Members. Your Board of Directors met and set training days and locations for September through January. Last year we had very poor turnout for our fall training days mainly because most members were out hunting. Most of the training days had two or three dog handlers that needed help show, and six or seven Board Members there to help that sacrificed hunting to attend. We also discussed the fact that R & R’s, Contact 7 our sister chapter So Cal holds no training days during hunting season. So this year we are going to Info & Sponsors switch things up and ask you to RSVP two weeks in advance for fall/winter training days so that the Board Members can have time to juggle schedules. Additionally if we don't have more than five respondents we will not pull the trailer down to training day from its storage location at Mesa Grande. From The Field and Beyond 6 So here are our dates and locations: Saturday September 20th at Honey Springs Sunday October 19th at Honey Springs Saturday November 15th Imperial Valley Pheasant hunt Sunday December 7th will be our Holiday Party - Location to be determined. Saturday January 31st at Honey Springs. Please remember, if you need help with your dog, or just need advice over the phone, please call or email me and I will match you up with someone that will be able to help you. I want to wish everyone a successful hunting season and have fun!

Since the first Dove season ends on the 15th of September we decided the 20th of September would be a great day to hold a Training Day to work out those last few bad habits before Quail, Duck and eventually Pheasant seasons start. Normally there is a start time of 8:00 am ,but if you will be ordering birds please arrive shortly before 8 to procure your birds. Directions can be found here and here. Sep. 20th-Training Day @Honey Springs Oct. 19th-Training Day @ Honey Springs Nov. 15th-Pheasant Hunt @ Imperial Valley Dec. 7th-Holiday Pot Luck @ TBD Jan. 31st-Training Day @ Honey Springs The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is a medium-sized gundog breed of relatively recent vintage. The breed was developed near the end of the 19th century, and ever since then these dogs have awed people with their amazing ability to point and retrieve. The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon was originally used for hunting and would flush, point, and retrieve water fowl, game birds, and even hares. She's been described as the "supreme gundog" and is still actively used in this role. She also makes an excellent family companion and enjoys any kind of work. Many Griffons have been successful in agility, tracking, and obedience. The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is also a happy and loving breed. She generally gets along well with everyone, and although she'll alert bark, she's too gentle to be a strong guard dog. She does well in homes with children, but she prefers older children who know how to treat a dog properly. She usually gets along with other pets and dogs but still needs to be socialized, since some Griffons can be nervous when they're introduced to new people, dogs, and situations. The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon is a fairly young breed. Its development is attributed to one E.K. Korthals, a Dutchman who lived in France and was interested in creating the ideal gundog. There's no clear evidence of what breeds he used, but some believe that he crossed the Otterhound and various Setters and Spaniels. It's also probable that a Pointer was part of the mix. 3 Volume 8 Issue 1 The Utility Source S E P .2 0 1 4 Thanks goes out to the Kendalls for hosting a great summer picnic at their home in La Mesa.
